    I have to run at least 2, Who the hell can sleep 10hrs? Wish they'd change it back to 8 and keep everything else the same

    i run one, you dont have to sleep all 10...

    if you stop for your 10, by the time you get your log straight, get some food, and watch a little TV/labtop, etc your going to be sleeping 8 or so hours

    I run one. LOOSE LEAF is the way to go. If you buy books or your company gives you books, you can take the staples out and there you go. That way you can "customize" your trip.

    Nope won't work. The guys that "designed" the split. Never worked a split in their lives. Tired drivers are dangerous drivers. All the rules in the world, will not negate that fact.

    What if I need 4 and 7 --- or 4 and 6, then another 1 hr nap?

    I'm illegal, most days, even if I have slept for 11 hours that day.

    I rather like Australia's rules myself.
